Contractors Repairing I-70 Pavement in Henry County

HENRY COUNTY – Contractors for the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) plan to restrict Interstate 70 to one lane in each direction this weekend for full-depth concrete patching west of New Castle Exit 123 to State Road 3.

Beginning at approximately 8 p.m. Friday, crews will restrict the right lane of eastbound I-70 approaching Exit 123 and westbound I-70 after Exit 123. Exit ramps are expected to remain open. The lanes will remain restricted until new concrete has adequate time to cure. Contractors anticipate reopening both lanes Sunday afternoon.

This year, E & B Paving, the INDOT contractor for the $7.7 million project, will repair and resurface a 7-mile section of I-70 between State Road 109 (Exit 115 to Knightstown) and State Road 3 (Exit 123 to New Castle). All traffic lanes in both directions are included in the contract. All lane restrictions are expected to take place during weeknights and weekends.

Drivers are advised to practice safe habits in highway work zones, such as following work zone speed limits, maintaining safe distances from other vehicles, and avoiding all distractions. For information on INDOT work zones and highway restrictions, go to trafficwise.in.gov or call toll-free 800-261-ROAD (7623).
